Ooh, this is goo-making...the dreamy first half with the sensual second half is perfect. I love the "I'm awake" litany, moving from a wish to convince Scully that he is to a need to convince himself that he isn't still dreaming...a joyful, heart-stopping dream.

The pace: slow as he dreams, speeding up to the climax of his wakefulness is gorgeous. I love this. It is a snapshot of a monumental moment in their lives, which has required both of them to stop dreaming and to come awake and aware. Great!
